    Recording canceled? What the h*ll?

    I had set my HR21-700 to record all NASCAR races in the series. It recorded the Nationwide race yesterday as it should have. I double checked on Friday that today's race was scheduled to record. It was. Went out for the afternoon today, came home, got a suitable refreshment, and plopped...

    Change Program Guide format?

    I've had my HR21-700 for 24 hours now and I am favorably impressed. I think DTV has done many things right. I do miss the HR10-250 Tivo-style program guide, where the channels are listed on the left and the programs and times for the selected channel are listed on the right, with the times...

    Well, I just upgraded my DVR for free

    For those of you contemplating the upgrade to a new DVR, I thought I would share my experience. I currently use an HR10-250 that I bought some time ago for $900. Yep, that was a darn good price at the time. After reading the various posts here, I was prepared to pay the standard $199...

    How to prevent "No HDMI Output" problem?

    I think what I have to say here will only help those setting up an HR10-250 for the first time. But tell me what you think. My first HR10-250 failed due to the recurring message that the internal temp. was too high. D* sent a replacement. I received #2 and hooked it up. I knew the...

    Help. DVI input dead. Need keystrokes.

    Apparently, the DVI input on my Samsung DLP has died. I can't get anything through it. I have two different sources and neither one will come through. It was intermittent last night and today won't respond at all. Until I can get this sorted out, I would like to be able to watch TV/Tivo...

    OK, what should I buy...and where?

    I'm going to say goodbye to E* so I can get the HD DVR with D*. I want to end up with 1> HR10-250 DVR/Receiver 2> Triple LNB dish for the house 3> standard receiver for the RV. (RV already has a standard dish mounted.) So, should I get the "free" standard system for one room from D*...

    Nothing but gray bars. ????

    I can't see anything but gray bars on an HD telecast. It will not display 16X9, only a 4X3 with gray bars. The 811 is playing through DVI input into my Samsung DLP. I noticed this some time ago, but didn't take the time until today to troubleshoot it. The 811 can say the broadcast is HD...

    Can I tell Dish to shove it and still get local OTA?

    I'm going to hang it up with Dish. Other than the usual complaints about their service in general and the 811 receiver in particular, I don't watch enough satellite TV to make it worth the monthly bill. I think it is costing me about $20/hour for what we watch. I'm sure this has been...
